monday evening: casual listening.....

saw the superstar wannabes on channel u......wah cmi sia.......waste time taking part .....and also waste our (the viewers') time.....if such wannabes could get through the auditions......u really wonder what happened at the auditions.....????!!!!

sigh....!... listen to them ....might as well go upstairs.....on my system and let it warm up......with the latest round of power cord upgrades.....it's becoming addictive to listen to music in THE room hehe.....

coincidentally the adcom preamp, msb link 3 and cia d-100 are all designed for continuous standby.....save the user precious time to warm them up.........i need only to on the cd transport...pop in a cd......wait for 13 seconds for it to output a digital signal and viola!.....music pours forth ......

only complaint is ...the aircon noisy leh...........haha my friends have made their comments many a times but i always lazy to do anything to it........see lah, if i free (more free, i mean), maybe get a aircon tech to take a look......such a high resolution system deserves a low noise aircon......so is the mitsubishi starmax the quietest aircon in the market..???...21dB...??......i know it's definitely not the cheapest.....:P

first disc of the evening.......stefanie sun: feng zheng.......first few tracks abit forgettable, somehow cant draw me into the music.......sounded abit stiff and cold.......after the 4th track, things started picking up.......more details, warmer and getting interesting...........i think everything is ready after the entire cd is over......hehe......i dun think i am asking too much cos a 30 min warm up time is quite reasonable....

shimmering cymbals........hmmm.........so clear yet was never harsh...........i have always tot of the scanspeak ring radiator tweeter as a gem and it shows..........many speakers use this tweeter too.....of cos there are better tweeters out there........a few come to mind quickly, namely the focal Be tweeter and the B&W diamond tweeter......both monsters when it come to DETAILS AND SWEETNESS...!!!......

ok lah......the music is getting better and i better go listen......:)
